Oddly enough, I was most interested in this fight on the card because I had some serious real money laid on Palelei, due to the fact that Krylov is widely underskilled. This was definitely a throwback fight of two guys fighting with no gas, limited talent, and all heart. Obviously, the broken rib was documented throughout the fight, although Soa has never shown great cardio so I really have no idea how the fight would have deviated if Palelei was 100% and the if the fight would have lasted past 3 minutes.

Krylov more than likely has the absolute worst wrestling by far in the UFC, at times it looked as if Palelei merely fell down on top of him instead of actually taking him down.

Part of me still likes these types of fights, as you saw two guys soldier-ing on and continued to fight when it looked like they couldnt even breathe.

I loved this fight. I was laughing, in hysterics, rooting for Palelei to be a stool quitter, wanting Krylov to pour it on. It may not have been technical but it was very exciting to watch, sloppy brawl, the kind of fight whereby they only kept fighting after 8 minutes because they signed a contract to say they would. They'd have hugged and called it quits there and then in the bar or in the car park but no, they kept going and somehow! There was a finish, just as we thought Soa was gonna get finished, somehow Soa came back!

Hated the fight, but was amped during that last round. Never cheered so hard for such a lazy set of finishing shots. Soa has been waiting for this moment for a while. He better be in better shape next time or he'll get tooled, bad rib or not.
